Unmetered Web Hosting
How much bandwidth will my plan include?
Bandwidth is "Unmetered" which means you are not charged according to the amount of bandwidth you typically use in the normal operation of a personal or small business website.
However, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and to not exceed 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds.
What happens if I exceed usage?
If we have concerns about your account's bandwidth utilization, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage.
It is rare for a customer who is managing a personal or small business website to exceed our usage policies.
Multiple Data Centers
Deploy your VPS closer to your users with multiple data center locations, helping reduce latency and improve performance.

FAQs: AlmaLinux VPS Hosting
WHAT IS ALMALINUX VPS HOSTING?
AlmaLinux VPS hosting is a virtual private server environment that runs AlmaLinux as its operating system. It gives systems administrators, DevOps engineers and technical teams dedicated vCPU cores, DDR5 RAM and NVMe storage on KVM-isolated infrastructure - with full root access and no commercial licensing fees attached to the OS.
CAN I SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT ALMALINUX VERSION LATER?
Yes. You can deploy the AlmaLinux version that best fits your application requirements and migrate when your software or infrastructure evolves.
HOW DOES ALMALINUX COMPARE WITH UBUNTU OR DEBIAN?
AlmaLinux is built for enterprise workloads with RHEL compatibility and predictable releases. Ubuntu is widely used for cloud and developer environments, while Debian is valued for its stability and long-term reliability. The best choice depends on your workload and software requirements.
IS ALMALINUX A GOOD CENTOS ALTERNATIVE?
Yes. AlmaLinux is a strong CentOS alternative, especially for teams that need a stable production Linux environment. After CentOS shifted to CentOS Stream, many organizations lost the predictable point-release model they relied on for servers, databases and enterprise applications.
AlmaLinux helps solve this by offering RHEL compatibility, long-term support, regular security updates and a more stable release lifecycle.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALMALINUX AND RHEL?
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a commercially licensed enterprise Linux distribution. AlmaLinux is a downstream, binary-compatible rebuild of RHEL- delivering the same enterprise-grade stability and package ecosystem without mandatory subscription fees or proprietary licensing costs. For teams that need RHEL compatibility without the commercial overhead, AlmaLinux is the direct alternative.
WHAT IS ALMALINUX VPS HOSTING USED FOR?
AlmaLinux VPS hosting is commonly used for production web applications, transactional databases, containerized workloads, multi-tenant server environments, custom development stacks and enterprise application hosting. It is particularly well suited for teams migrating from CentOS, running RHEL-compatible software or requiring a stable, long-term Linux environment without commercial OS licensing costs.
CAN I RUN CONTAINERIZED WORKLOADS ON AN ALMALINUX VPS?
Yes. AlmaLinux VPS supports containerized workloads, including Docker-based applications, databases and development environments. With Bluehost VPS, you get isolated resources and NVMe storage to run containers with more control and consistent performance. Learn how to get started with AlmaLinux on Bluehost VPS.
WHICH ALMALINUX VERSION SHOULD I CHOOSE: 8, 9, OR 10?
Choose AlmaLinux 8 if your stack depends on older packages, legacy software or existing application compatibility. Choose AlmaLinux 9 for most production websites, databases and container workloads. Choose AlmaLinux 10 for new builds that need the latest platform improvements and a longer support lifecycle.
IS BLUEHOST ALMALINUX VPS MANAGED OR UNMANAGED?
